Those Enhance Shaman changes. Damn shame. No one used them, after that even more reasons not to using them. And main goal to give some AoE power back is not here. What the point of that if you will deal the same amount of AoE DMG as other after 15 - 20 secs. After 20 secs pack is dead anyway. 

Resto Druid Mastery buff is good. Other Druid spec changes are not bad question is how they will be competing with current builds.

This is a bigger problem than most people realise. It basically makes you useless for AoE on any trash, adds, whatever. You are only good if there are multiple bosses alive for a decent amount of time, or you are cleaving onto something that isn't even a priority so it doesn't die quickly, which then means you're basically padding.

Can someone help me, I'm unable to view any of this content to an extent. Like I see all the detailed and everything but when i hover my mouse over, lets say a talent, to see the actual changes. Nothing happens. It doesn't display any information at all.

Thank you for the report. We are working to resolve this issue. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Sometimes refreshing the article works and the tooltips will load. That's only a temporary workaround.

I've been having this issue with everything on the whole site for about a month now. I've tried other browsers too.

Left a reply for you in your Site Feedback post. Any extra information on the questions there would be great!

This entire list is just confusing. The links take us to ptr.wowdb.com and evidently just give us the changed version, but I don't know of anyone who has all their talents and percentages just memorized so you can do a comparison. In other words, there is no good reference to what IS and what WILL BE, just a tooltip with the projected change? Would be SO much better if it could be showing "this is what it is" and "this is what it will be." I'm just a simple guy, and the way it's laid out means next to nothing to me because I can't compare it to the current version easily.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't up to your expectations and hopefully the next time we try this, we'll be closer to hitting the mark. I'll tag @Stan so that he can take a look at your comments and fingers crossed you'll prefer the layout next time!

There is a simple way to tell what the old version is compared to the new one.

The new ability tooltip is displayed on the main part of the page.  In the upper right corner of the page there is a selection that says "live" and "ptr", if you put your mouse over the live selection it will show you the ability tooltip for what it currently is on live servers.  It actually works out really well because you can see both descriptions and compare them without clicking through multiple pages.

I seriously hope those fury nerfs arent pushed into live, we already have issues keeping up with arms if we dont have the warrior legendary ring. IF anything, nerf arms crit dmg.

I'm hoping that Nighthold gear might narrow the gap, even with the nerfs

I hope so too.

With us having to sacrifice all mastery and crit to try and hit 50% haste is ridiculous.

Also, I would be fine if they kept the Frothing Berserker, Reckless Abandon, and Wrecking Ball changes but didn't reduce the Dragon Roar damage bonus. That would close the gap a little bit more.

At least in the past, Fury did always seem to surpass Arms at higher item levels, just because of more stats to budget. A massive Haste trinket with  a big proc could seriously help out Fury.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      How to Get the Spirit of Eche'ro Mount

      2. Teleport to Azsuna from the Stormwind/Orgrimmar Portal Room or use your Dalaran Hearthstone to reach Dalaran (Legion) if you have one in your inventory.
      3. Seek out Archaeology Trainer Dariness the Learned in Dalaran at 41,26 and learn Archaeology if you already haven't.
      4. Accept The Right Path quest from the Archaeology Trainer and make your way to Thunder Totem in Highmountain.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
